Where Your Money Goes
When United Methodists in the U.S. give to their local church, expenses typically are allocated this way:
• 85% remains in the local church
• 7% goes to jurisdictions, annual conferences and districts.
• 6% second-mile giving (for efforts such as disaster relief or Special Sundays).
• 2% general church apportionments.
